I started looking into different memory systems and can already memorize a deck of cards pretty fast (below 3 minutes)
I am looking for some effects that relay on real time memorization.
Effects that memorizing something is part of the method, not the presentation (it can be part of the presentation too, but that is not necessary)
It does not have to be with cards, anything you can think of is great.
If possible, mention the source too, not just the name

Thanks

One immediately comes to mind:

The Knight's Tour

Professor Philemon Vanderbeck
That Creepy Magician"I use my sixth sense to create the illusion of possessing the other five."

I do not think that Corinda's Step 3 is what you are looking for. Here having a super memory is the effect, not just the method.

I recommend section 6 of Leo Bourdreau's book Spirited Pasteboards. It has tricks which make advantage of the ability to instantly memorize a binary sequence (in fact - the random cards' orientation in an one-way back design).

Note however, that an experienced memory expert likely wishes to improve the memory method explained in this book by using a mnemonic code that assigns a letter not just to a single card but to a sequence of several cards.
